You can recall individual SMS-managed data sets from migration volumes to level 0 SMS-managed volumes by using the RECALL and HRECALL commands. (The HRECALL command is a non-DFSMShsm-authorized command that is available to users.)
When you issue a RECALL or HRECALL command for an SMS-managed data set, processing is the same as that for automatic recall (see Automatic recall).
When a data set is recalled to a non-SMS-managed volume, the volume to which it is recalled is selected as described in Recall.
If you want to return an SMS-managed data set to a non-SMS-managed volume, you can use the FORCENONSMS parameter of the RECALL command. If you use the FORCENONSMS parameter, the volume to which the data set is recalled is selected as described in Recall.
Migrated extended format VSAM data sets can be recalled only as extended format VSAM data sets. Migrated extended format sequential access method (SAM) data sets can be recalled as extended format or nonextended format data sets.
If FORCENONSMS is specified on the RECOVER command to force an extended format data set to be recovered or restored to a non-SMS-managed volume, the data set is recovered as a nonextended data set. The maximum size of the non-SMS SAM data set is one volume.
If an out-of-space condition causes the recall of an SMS-managed data set to fail, the RECALL DFDSSOPTION(VOLCOUNT(N(nn) | ANY)) command can be used to ensure the successful recall of the data set. The RECALL DFDSSOPTION(VOLCOUNT(N(nn) | ANY)) command overrides the environment established by the SETSYS VOLCOUNT command. You can use the QUERY SETSYS command to determine the current operating environment.
